Stairway To Heaven Chords

          Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Written by: Page/Plant
From: "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971)
 
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
 
Some of the versions here are easy to play, but do not sound right at all.
Others have the correct chords, but are probably too difficult for many
players who are familiar with some basic shapes but are not yet used to
go beyond the first three frets and may have problems playing barre
chords. With this version I tried to go a middle way.
 
I kept the chords easy to play, but they should still fit the
original. Some may have intimidating names but don't let that discourage
you: if you look at the voicings, you'll notice they are not difficult
because I cut them down so they can mostly be played using only two or
three fingers of the left hand and there are no barre chords at all.

[Verse 1]
          Am         Eaug          C/E         D
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 
          Fmaj7                  G   Am Am
And she's buying the stairway to hea-a- ven
         Am             Eaug          C/E            D
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed 
       Fmaj7                     G  Am  Am
With a word she can get what she ca-ame for
C    D    Fmaj7         Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh –ooh
          C          G           Dsus4 D  D
And she's buying the stairway to hea-  ea-ven
 
[Verse 2]
          C           D            Fmaj7       Am
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 
           C              D              Fmaj7
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
     Am          Eaug             C/E          D
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
          Fmaj7                      G  Am
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

[Verse 3]
 
          C         G/B        Am
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
       C         G/B        Fmaj7 Am
And my spirit is crying for lea - ving
      C               G/B           Am
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
        C         G/B             Fmaj7 Am
And the voices of those who stand loo - king

[Verse 4]
 
         C              G/B        Am
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune 
         C          G/B        Fmaj7 Am
Then the piper will lead us to rea - son
      C            G/B      Am
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long 
        C            G/B       Fmaj7 Am
And the forests will echo with laugh-ter

[Verse 5]
C             G/B            Am
 If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
C            G/B                  Fmaj7 Am
 It's just a spring clean for the May   queen
C               G/B               Am
 Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run 
C               G/B                Fmaj7 Am
  There's still time to change the road  you're on

[Verse 6]
 
C             G/B            Am
 Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
C            G/B            Fmaj7 Am
 The piper's calling you to join  him
C           G/B              Am
 Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know 
C              G/B         Fmaj7 Am
 Your stairway lies on the whis- p’ring wind

[Verse 7]
Am          G                F         G
  And as we wind on down the road 
Am            G               F        G
  Our shadows taller than our soul 
Am                G           F        G
  There walks the lady we all know 
Am                 G                  F         G
  Who shines white light and wants to show
Am         G                    F        G
  How everything still turns to gold 
Am           G           F        G
  And if you listen very hard 
Am              G              F        G
  the tune will come to you at last 
Am             G              Fmaj7        G
  When all are one and one is all 
Am        G               Fmaj7
  To be a rock and not to ro-o-o-o-oll
